- A great place to work Uganda in general is a welcoming place and relatively safe. The visa at the airport is very easy. Just stay to the left as you go through immigration and the process takes about two minutes. The tourist visa has been fine for my many visits and several documentary crews that I know as well. Local Sim cards are dirt cheap,or even sometimes free, and you can pick one up at the kiosk just outside the airport and pop it into any unlocked gsm phone. The Cassia Lodge on the outskirts of Kampala is a quiet haven if you don’t need immediate access to downtown, otherwise the Speke Hotel is safe and convenient, with a bit of a local color as night falls and the bar scene activates.
